Raised in 1902 and disbanded in 1922; one squadron served as part of the BEF at Mons in 1914 and subsequently a further five squadrons served with distinction throughout the Great War in France and Flanders. This is the first published account of the South Irish Horse and the author has done well to pull together a coherent and relatively detailed story draw largely from incomplete war diaries and press reports. He includes a reconstructed roll of honour and a list of honours and awards. Military Historical Society

This classic account of World War One from a French officer's perspective has not
previously been translated for the original French. Highly Recommended.
This book is particularly valuable because it is a translation of a diary kept by a French offer from 1914 to
1918.
There is no traditional photo plate section to illustrate the text, but there is no sense of loss at that. This
speaks for the vivid writing of the very personal account of life in the French Army one hundred years ago
during a terrible war of attrition.

The book is scholarly and detailed but also presents a gripping and engaging view of what the Great War would have been like for typical soldiers. This book is a timely reminder of the horrific conflict that is now disappearing from living memory. I thoroughly recommend it, not only for those with an existing interest in the period, but also for anyone who wants to understand the First World War from the viewpoint of the individual.
